I took the Key West Express, a ferry that transports riders from Florida's Gulf Coast to Key West. Even so, this 3-½-hour ferry ride was pretty nice and more convenient than drivingSign up to get the inside scoop on today’s biggest stories in markets, tech, and business — delivered daily. And with so many great options for day trips, it's no surprise people are moving to Florida en masse. Recently, I took my first trip to Fort Myers, where the Key West Express ferry transports travelers from the Gulf Coast to Key West. Driving from Fort Myers to Key West can take more than five hours, so I wanted to see if this 3-½ -hour ferry ride was a good alternative.
